Nadia Hussain Defends Husband Amid Fraud Allegations

Actress Nadia Hussain has publicly addressed the financial fraud charges against her husband, Atif Khan. In a recent podcast interview, she firmly defended him, stressing that accusations do not amount to proof of guilt.

“There are allegations against my husband that are yet to be proven. He is not guilty,” Nadia asserted.

When asked about the case and her husband’s arrest, she responded, “Around the world, a person is only guilty once allegations are proven. But here, people are declared guilty the moment accusations surface.”

She emphasized the importance of due process: “Anyone can make a claim. It must be proven in court. So far, that hasn’t happened. The decision belongs to the judge and the court — not social media.”

Nadia also confirmed that her husband is currently out on bail, although the process has faced complications that delayed the case. Denying any involvement in the alleged fraud, she said, “This matter is under investigation. With proper inquiry, God willing, justice will prevail.”

Reflecting on the emotional strain, she added, “This time has revealed who truly stands by me. Many I considered close turned out to be mere professional contacts.”

Still, she expressed confidence in the legal system: “I believe in the courts. And I think more names will surface as the case moves forward.”

Earlier, the Additional District and Sessions Judge (South) reserved a verdict on Atif Khan’s bail in a high-profile Rs530 million bank fraud case. The decision is expected on May 22.

Police allege that Atif misused Rs530 million from a private company’s CEO for personal business ventures.

Nadia Hussain also gave a statement to the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA), claiming no knowledge of the alleged fraud. She told investigators that her husband gave her money to start and grow her salon business, but she was unaware of its origins.

“My business is registered with the FBR, and the funds were listed as a loan in my tax returns,” she said.

The FIA is investigating Rs26.4 million in transfers from her husband’s accounts to her salon, made 19 times since 2019. While Nadia has been named a key beneficiary in the case, she maintains her innocence, insisting, “I was never part of any fraud.”
